hmm, I don't like this, Cyri's strat is too vague and he's bunching all of his dudes together so it's hard to see how each engagement will unfold

I kinda wasted Raido but I'm glad I didn't have to deal with an attack from over there, red will be a problem with both Rinbukun and Shoumou but they have no brains over there to deal with my Fuuki set up which will be devastating. Biggest problem will be Ryuukoku's big force but that's a rather slim and long ladder () they'll have to cross so they can't do too much damage before I can plug them with the flank.

@Cyri; are those black lines your army advancement lines or just your scouts?

oh, i'm not giving promise for the corner. It will depend if i'm too tired or not.

Although I do think this will be a straightforward match. Void strategist will try to manuver the most plan while the brutes will try to cut off the enemy halfway from the bridge.

Sadly with how vague Cyri strats, we don't know who will cross first and who will be at the back though...
I'll take the liberty to say Ryuukoku and Hakurei will be at the back since they're supposed to be the strategist of the group, while Shunmen and Shin will be at the front

but the other group.... considering the clauses, i'll probably take liberty and say the 3 of them are grouped together at the front?

They follow the black lines roughly and just send scouts everywhere they think they might be needed. I couldn't find a way to beat you having better/more generals so i figured my only chance was to group up move fast and try to take out generals fast with team Bs mobility, but sadly i think they might retreat- - - Updated - - -

Team A has Ryuukoku in the way back melee shin and shunmen each protect the left or right side of the army near the frontlines. Vice Haku Rei will try to be slightly behind the melee and positioned in the a equal distance away from both melees. team 2 Vice Rin Bu Kun and Shoumou close to the front and kaine in the back.

Sorry I didn't explain better with the map. I'm terrible at making them

This is still my second game i'll try to be more specfic next match though I'm still shitty with making maps.

I figured Ryuukoku and Rin Bu Kun will change there movements alot because of scout information. I didn't mean to be vague and lack information

if you're unsure of how you'd want your army to proceed: just draw a line to show where they would primarily go, use a clause like what you did here for scouting so your commanders can change that predetermined path based on info and enemy formations or you can draw dotted lines to show possible contingency paths

basically, just draw up a solid foundation for your game plan and mod it with contingency clauses or possible paths

If I'm not mistaken they could still cross the bridge and help A with little losses.(the bastilas are up a cliff right? if not I'll take those out and then send my units)

- - - Updated - - -

I feel like team A is in such good posistion if team B and start helping them they can steam roll all of this army with numbers and general fights for team A should always go well since shin won't lose with hak shooting arrows as support

- - - Updated - - -

Or team B can wait on the bridge to gain fuukis attention, but not engage and let team A slaughter till fuuki needs to pay attention to them

These are just idea's I have that my army could do. Also I wanted to point out my teams have no warrior pride and will fight together. Yours have warrior pride and will be surprise shoot by Haku Rei

No, there's no cliff there and you can't cross without being shot by bolts continuously, since I set up a continuous shooting system instead of a one shot each volley. You get out of the killzone and you're greeted with chariots into your flank with Rinko and Kouyoku next.

you also can't take out the ballistas without heavy losses because even if you manage to rush up all the way to them, I've got loads of archers in siege towers and behind the ballistas shooting at you.

Team A is actually in the worst position: they have the bigger army crossing a smaller and longer crossing and when Rihaku gives the signal, those that have already crossed will be flanked and their reinforcements plugged at the bridge. You outnumber me on each front but I take measures to isolate and grind down whatever you have crossed on both fronts.

Or team B can wait on the bridge to gain fuukis attention, but not engage and let team A slaughter till fuuki needs to pay attention to them

Team A is the one crossing the bridge though?

Rinko has been known to not honor duels and he has Kouyoku backing him up. Raido is a bandit so no warrior honor there and Ordo hasn't been shown to be a duelist that would honor such things. Plus my prep has my officers watch out for Hakurei.

Also I believe 36 ballistas will do little do 80+k calv

that's if I got 36 ballistas only against your 80k+ cav but you don't have them all over the river at once and your flanks will be ground down while you're getting shot upon. Again, even if you make it close to the ballistas, you'll still have to face loads of arrows raining upon you from two siege towers and behind the ballistas.

ballistas are something i guess we are simply gonna disagree with. I don't believe you can tell people to use ballistas a new way to pretty much snipe calv trying to dodge(also your archers are aiming at impossibility fast heavey calv and the fastest calv 5k zhao) and even if you have them loading and shooting at the same time, you are shooting 1/2 amount of bolts too. With my spies team A/B will know your posistion and also i mean war chariots are annoying,but it just takes troops to take them down

I guess the two main things I disagree with is the effectiveness of the killing field and team As posistion. I see shin, Shunmen and hak being very hard to stop with there posistions. I mean blue doesn't do too well so purple helps right? odds are still on my side

No disrespect I think you have a great strat, Just trying to point out some things.

Also I didn't know you could make heavy infantry with bows that's cool would my chu thing work for them.

Generic ballistas go 20 for 1 point for a reason you are saying 2 points worth of something stops 1/3 of the map even when sending 80k calv/ IMO they aren't that strong. shoots coming in over and over again by people not trained in it against a ton of calv i think is a terrible idea. I think it's the outright counter to Generic ballistas and chariots wont change that.

I mean that's why i specifcally bought more calv because that's the only idea I could help to beat Generic ballistas without using them myself and causing stalemates like wouldve happened here I believe

The best ideas I had for this match were group up and fight together as 2 big groups. I believe in this situation that might work out. Who can take out current shin with a 10 arrow behind him? once the killzone is down and A and B fight together I believe I've won.

And how much do you expect 40ish basilias do against 80k calv. Even with archers I don't see much to be afraid of TBH. If you 1000 bastilas like nord I could understand, but you don't

- - - Updated - - -

I mean I really believe the super strong and fast zhao calv would take on your bastilas with Kaine as a sacerfice/maybe probably not and then flank what team A is fighting with 80k non damaged units and the towers will be gone with the other troops so don't act like they are anything. but a few second stall
